Any mods to increase airflow?

I have on a poorly machined atty. Don't try to hold it in your hand. Wrap in papertowel, place in vise and drill slowly. I was careful not to penetrate too far in and just opened the hole about 1/32 larger than designed.
It definately provides more airflow. I only did it on one that was not fully machined and decided to go a little bigger. Also see clydes post. BTW - status of the salt test???? Happy Holidays
I've drilled out the plastic disc hole in a 510, drilled out the two side holes near the atomizer threads, and enlarged the 4 slots on the battery connector. Worked great for me, I disliked the hard pull on stock parts. I used a pin vise and number-indexed drill bits, no need to use power tools. Jeweler's file on the slots.
I do the same thing myself. I occasionally have some cartos with a tight draw and find doing this does increase the airflow. The TH and vapor an them are the same as on my cartos that have proper airflow.
You don't even need a drill...most are made of brass or a similar soft metal. A sharp nail and a bit of persistance is all that's needed. Be careful though as a little goes a long way. You can always do more, but can't undo...
Yes matthawk7 that will work but there is a certain level of satisfaction in firing up a powertool even though a non powered one will do the trick. Also, if I don't plug something in once in awhile and amke some noise my wife starts to ask "why do you need all those tools????".
Haha...good one! Ahh...the joys of being single come in many forms. Thanks for reminding me!
OK, I got one-
I used a metal nail file to "saw" deeper groves at the top of my ego battery. Works great!

You guys might be able to use 808 connectors if any of you are using 901's to increase air flow. They cost a dollar or so.
I revived an undrilled Atty a few weeks ago and tried this
And to my dismay I drilled a fraction too far..so just make sure you go slow and check how far you've gone or you'll end up with a 7dollar practice piece..

What happened when you went to far. Did you cut a wire or something?
yea i caught the wire and tore it up some, but i got a replacement! love the suppliers here
Can you tell me more? I really prefer an airy draw...or at least a lighter one than is found on most 510's.
